On this night, Quintin Berry was the best rookie on the field.
The Detroit outfielder had three hits, two stolen bases and scored twice, helping the Tigers rally to an 8-6 win over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.

”No, man. That dude’s ridiculous,” Berry said. ”If you all are expecting that, you all can relax. That dude’s fun to watch.”
